LEAGUE REVIEW

Keynsham. Foster struck twice inside the opening half hour to put
the Cobblers ahead, before the K’s halved the deficit just prior to half
time to give themselves some hope heading into the second stanza.
Street finally pulled away in the final quarter, with Kyle Strange
extending their two-goal advantage, before Foster struck again to
complete his treble.

Wells City took advantage of others playing the Vase to
extend their lead atop the First Division table to five points. Having
suffered an early blow, falling behind to Gillingham in the early
stages on Saturday afternoon, City drew level towards the end of the
first half thanks to a thumping header from Tom Hill. Before long,
Charlie Crook had scored to turn the game on its head, with Wells
pulling away during the second period thanks to further goals from
Adam Wright and Craig Herrod. The comeback of the day belonged
to Longwell Green Sports who overturned a two-goal deficit to
beat Cheddar 3-2 at Shellards Road. Goals either side of the interval
from Dean Chrisostomou and Morgan Bacon gave the Cheesemen a
hefty advantage, but Longwell Green kept pushing and soon got their
rewards thanks to a quick-fire double from the two Zac’s, Cheetham
and Feltham. The remaining drama was saved for injury time, with
Longwell Green scoring a winner at the death through Tom Warren,
all of this coming just moments after the hosts had squandered an
opportunity to go in front from the penalty spot. FC Bristol also
enjoyed the best of the closing stages in their clash with Bishop
Sutton to help secure a 4-2 victory. Goals from Niekell Plummer and
Kinsly Murray helped give the hosts a two-goal lead, which was soon
cancelled out following a pair of quick strikes from Sutton forward
Craig Wilson. Then, with quarter of an hour remaining, Jennison
Williams put the home side back ahead, and they finally wrapped up
victory in stoppage time through Cameron Brown. The points were
shared in the remaining fixture, with Warminster coming from two-
down to claim a 2-2 draw at home to Tytherington. Goals from
Ethan Johnson and Cameron Horseman had put the Rocks in control
at the break, but Warminster were able to surge back during the
second half, with Corey Gardner and Max Wyatt each striking to
salvage a draw.
